Re: [Gnuplot-info] multiplot epslatex term help

[<als...@ma...>]

Hi;
  I am writting my thesis and got into the problem of having a 
multiplot generated by gnuplot 4.0.0 using the term epslatex and 
eventually included in latex document via \input{fig} where fig.tex, 
and fig.eps both where generated by epslatex terminal. I am using 
TexShop on a mac os x, so what follows apply to latex on mac os x, and 
might not apply to other situations. My figure was broken in the pdf 
file generated by Latex typesetting. I was wondering what could 
possibly be the problem, and I searched google to find this thread. I 
tried pause -1 between plot commands, didn't work!. Anyways, I am by no 
means an expert on latex or gnuplot, but I believe that fig.eps picture 
file has problems when included in the picture environment in the 
fig.tex file that what I discovered after some experimentation. So I 
have the following procedure:
1. do your multiplot as usual and set the terminal epslatex and the 
output file (say fig.eps) pretending there is no problem.
2. convert the fig.eps file to fig.png
3. edit the fig.tex file to include the fig.png file rather than 
fig.eps (explicitly write fig.png)
4.  include the fig in latex by \input{fig} (with no extentions). 
Typeset latex and generate your pdf file you will see the pictures 
generated from fig.png and that from fig.tex are intact, but displaced.
5. edit the coordinates in the second picture environment command to 
fit the two together.
6. finally edit the labels, and the other fine things you want to see 
in the plot.
7. typeset again to see if everything looks fine.
hope that help.
thanks
